Hello, I'm Simon. Since 2003 I've had various roles in testing, tech leadership and coaching. I believe in the power of collaboration, creativity and community. 🎓 MoT-STEC qualified. I get real joy working with and supporting our wonderful MoTaverse community.

“Thanks for making me feel so confident about myself.” | “I'm so grateful for all you do in the MoTaverse community, I learn so much as a result!” | “A simple chat with Simon in person absolutely changed everything.” | “Simon is one of the best people that I've ever met to have conversations with. He's so grounded in his way of thinking and articulates his thoughts so well and his feelings and his knowledge about community and everything.”

Amplified the MoTaverse
I met Simon this evening and he was absolutely brilliant! I really appreciated Simon discussing all things Motaverse, and really taking the time to talk to me about the opportunities to share my ideas and to connect with like minded individuals. Thanks so much Simon 😁

Proactively supported another community member
Simon's always encouraged me to interact with the larger MoT community. He let's me know that all of us have knowledge worth sharing and questions worth asking that enrich and diversify the MoTaverse. Thank you, Simon, for leading by example.
